[QUOTE="Bladesong, post: 2955854, member: 20800"] I will confess that I only read this thread to this point, so if anyone already mentioned this I apologize. The section I underlined above is what I would have focused on myself. Something may be behind the "insanity" in which case the old woman was just a victim herself and you very much overstepped your bounds. I read a lot of "good vs. evil" which is fine, but thus far nobody has mentioned how chaotic the act was. There was no balance (i.e. eye for an eye) and this definitely would leave the victim in a state of chaos. Generally if the society in question would consider this unacceptable, it is a chaotic act and would most definitely be a no-no for a LN character. IMO it would have been fine, even for a paladin, to knock her unconscious and gently lay her to the ground in a reasonably safe spot. Acutally I would probably expect a paladin to take her to the nearest temple or get her a room at an inn, but I am sure you understand what I am saying.
